Guide: How to Manage iTunes and App Store Purchases
If you’re like me, I can decide to sign up for a premium app service, forget I did this and then be billed for a few months before I realize I need to unsubscribe. (Don’t be like me.) In fact, many apps, such as Pandora, Netflix, and the official MLB app, can bill you directly through your Apple ID so it’s good to know there’s a place where you can store your iTunes and App Store subscriptions and cancel any subscriptions you no longer want.
Check App Store subscriptions on Mac
If you have a Mac, you can view a list of subscriptions currently billed to your Apple ID from the App Store. Launch the App Store and select Store via the menu bar at the top of the screen. Select from the drop-down menu View my account. If you are not signed in, or if you are signed in with a different account than the one you want to check, you must of course sign in with the correct account first. As we are about to access private account information, you will then be asked to verify your account password. After you verify your Apple ID password and click Sign Up, you will be taken to the Account Information screen. Look down under the Manage section and you’ll see an entry called Subscriptions. Don’t be alarmed by the number of subscriptions listed as this includes both your active and expired subscriptions. Click to view your Apple ID subscription information Management.This shows you a list of subscriptions, separated by Active and Expired. For both categories, find the subscription you are interested in and click on the small one Edit button at the right.When you click Edit, you will see the details of that particular subscription, including: type (eBook or audiobook), options to upgrade or downgrade tiers (if applicable), renewal dates (if applicable), and cancellation options (if applicable). If there is an option for a trial period associated with a subscription, it will also be shown on this screen along with any restrictions associated with that trial period such as time limit or number of readings allowed before it expires. If there is no option for a trial period associated with a subscription but there is an option for automatic renewal , clicking on that link will take you to another screen where all available renewal options for that particular subscription are shown along with any restrictions associated with those renewal options such as time limit or number of readings allowed before it expires . ..
Check App Store subscriptions through iTunes
If you don’t have a Mac, or don’t want to use the App Store, another way to access your Apple ID subscription information is through iTunes on both macOS and Windows. The process is similar: launch iTunes and select Account> View my account from the toolbar (or menu bar in macOS).Check your Apple ID password, then from the Account Information screen, look in the Settings section for the Subscription item. Click Management and you will see the same list of active and expired subscriptions as described above. ..

If you don’t have a Mac or Windows PC, or don’t want to use iTunes, you can check and manage your Apple subscriptions from your iOS device. Just grab your iPhone or iPad and go to Settings> iTunes & App Store. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the page and select View Apple IDand verify your access with your password or Touch ID.

The exception to iCloud storage
To manage most of your subscriptions, including subscriptions sold directly by Apple and third-party app developers, you should check your iCloud storage. In iCloud Preferences, you will see a multicolored bar at the bottom that indicates how much iCloud storage you have and how it is used by category. You can also see which plan you are currently subscribed to and the capacity and pricing information for any storage upgrades. To downgrade your storage (including canceling by returning to the “free” 5 GB plan), click Downgrade options button bottom left side. However, when considering a downgrade of iCloud storage, keep in mind how much storage space you’re using. Apple will mark all plans that have insufficient capacity for your current usage level with a warning icon. ..
